Tom Clancy's The Division Is Coming to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Brutally Tactical Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s apocalyptic setting. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, transforming the city into a warzone. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the agents come in.

Development on the game has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, specifically in North America. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical approach. Players use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Emphasize Positioning and Awareness

Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system seems built to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound Mechanic

The way health is tracked adds a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an operative collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a injury chart, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A publicly available introductory rulebook is promised soon. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
